Description: Hey bungie.net users. What's going on? How have you been? This is the 4th map that I have posted here. It is an urban SWAT tactical map that features two opposing militant bases and a wartorn battleground. I have spent a huge amount of time on this map, and over time, it became the most frustrating map to build because of a number of reasons. Firstly, there are about 55 geomerged objects. That alone, along with the fact that this was my first map to use geomerging, made it especially difficult. Secondly, there were many things I had to redo, because even though I used a budget-glitched canvas, I actually hit an item limit. Apparently, after 200 or so placed objects, you have delete an object for every new object you want to put down. Nonetheless, Vantage Point is finally done.

Technically, the map is an asymmetrical map, but plays well with a variety of different gametypes. The defender's base stretches across Foundry's entire width, and spawns for this base are both default Foundry spawns (in the corners of the map). This base, because of its role in asymmetrical games, has a ton of bunkers and secret hiding spots. It's main feature is the giant tunnel / walkway in its center. One of my friends coined it the term "Armadillo", so that is what I'm going to refer to it as. :D

The attacker's base is a lot more open, but also stretches across Foundry's width as well. Because of how open it is, I put a lot of the battleground items favoring the attackers in tight situations, making it much more balanced in both types of games. The main feature of the attacker's base is a gate that opens by shooting one of the two fusion coil "buttons". You could compare this to the gate in High Ground because it is a gate that once opened cannot be shut. It plays a big role in objective games, especially two-sided assault and CTF, yet is also helpful in situations where the attackers need immediate access to the battleground.

As already said, the battleground somewhat favors the attackers, but is technically neutral.

Gameplay: This section is very important to understand. Something odd, yet unique that you may find about Vantage Point is that I made for very specified gametypes that aren't typically played. The map itself is designed around Team SWAT gametypes, but also plays amazingly well with Shotty Snipers games and Fiesta games (even objective ones with these settings). At the bottom of the page, I have links to my personal favorite gametypes played with the map, which will link you to my file share for download.

Here is What ForgeHub Thinks...:"I played Team SWAT on this map the other day with a party of 8 people. Not only is the map itself fantastic and visually appealing, but the gameplay is equally fantastic. The bases themselves are flawlessly interlocked and simply amazing; the bunker-like windows provide both cover and shooting space which is great for SWAT. The large area between the two bases is also littered with very useful cover which makes for some interesting and tactical battles."-elitemastersam"This is the Sweetest -blam!- slayer map EVA, The aesthetics will blow your mind to shreds. This is a feature worthy map, if you don't believe me try it yourself. Awesome work jslayer! The INTERLOX IS PERFECTIONZZ."-StreetSoccer12"This map is amazing. Honestly.
